You want your car to last a long time, that’s a given. You also want to be safe and secure in the vehicle you choose. Most of these cars didn’t just survive the last decade, they are now thriving in the 2020s. Here are the 10 most reliable cars of the last decade.
Lexus ES
The Lexus ES is a reliable car. It has an amazing safety system so you know you are in good hands while driving it. The Lexus ES also has high JD Power Reliability Ratings, which means it is a good car to have! The higher the JD Power Reliability Ratings the better!
Toyota RAV4
The Toyota RAV4 is a great car (but I am a little biased because that’s the type of car I have). It is dependable and has the Toyota Safety Sense package which helps you stay safe while you are driving. RepairPal gives this car a 4.0 out of 5.0 Reliability Rating. That is a high reliability rating and for a good reason too. The RAV4 can last a long time.
Nissan Leaf
The new Nissan Leaf is 100% electric, but older models were hybrids. This car used to be one of the best-selling plug-in hybrids in the world, until it was dethroned by the Tesla Model 3. But rest assured this car is still reliable! The Leaf is still a great car that you want due to its dependability.
Tesla Model S
The Tesla Model S is a car like no other. It can go about 265 miles on a single charge which is truly impressive. Since its inception in 2012, many have bought these cars because of just how reliable they really are. Some are even being sold on line in pretty good condition ten years later!
Volkswagen GTI
You definitely don’t want to have to keep paying for repairs on your car, especially for VWs, we hear their repairs aren’t cheap. But if you get the Volkswagen GTI, it is so reliable that you don’t have to worry about repairs! This hatchback runs for a while, saving you money in the long run.
Kia Sportage
The Kia Sportage is a car that people don’t have many issues with. It has been said that the 4th-generation models (those from 2016-2021) are the best Sportage models. Either way, if you take care of your Kia Sportage, you should be able to get hundreds of thousands of miles out of it. Now that’s reliability!
Toyota 4Runner
The Toyota 4Runner is an SUV made for off-roading. This was the off-roading SUV in the 2010s. It is durable and dependable. 4Runners usually last a long time but be prepared if you buy a new one, you are going to be paying more than it cost in the 2010s. Hey, Toyota knows this is a good car!
Mazda6
The Mazda6 was not the perfect car when it was first on the market. It was actually far from it. But when the 2014 third-generation car came out, all the kinks seemed to have been ironed out. Now it is a quite dependable car!
